Who’s Been Reading Porno?

Seriously, this story reads like a scene straight out of Irvine Welsh’s return-to-Trainspotting novel, Porno,. except that there appear to be twoBegbies committing mayhem. And it’s set in Edinburgh, too. Life imitating um, art? Or art imitating, um, life and death?

“The court heard that Mr Bowie had been in Boyle’s flat for a drink and had been making fun of him about his habit of sniffing gas.

Boyle picked up a tonic wine bottle and repeatedly hit Mr Boyle with it before stamping on his head with his boots.”

And that’s before it got ugly.

Meantime, the moralist in me can’t help but ask: aren’t you meant to get life imprisonment for murder?
